An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

Only in the sense niche/media/tech magazines are these days on a hiding to nothing, because people assume they can get everything online for free. I don't think it really says anything about comics. (I do wonder at which point people will suddenly realise most online 'magazines' are shit, though, due to no-one wanting to pay for anything, and the bottom falling out of advertising.)

Why are online magazines 'shit'?I nearly subscribed to a couple yesterday. Mags I would occasionally buy in WH Smiths but thought - after checking - that they look nice on the iPad and it's all very convenient.

Fungus: Note the scare quotes. I'm referring to websites masquerading as magazines, but that are really glorified blogs. There are exceptions. Some sites are actually pretty good reads, but almost the entire industry is trending towards a distinct lack of money, which doesn't bode well for decent content.

And, yeah, I'm not talking about digital versions of existing print mags, both of which are on borrowed time in many areas.
